As Sony launches its first portable platform, SCEA's EVP talks about the future of the format.

GS: What do you think the life span of the PSP is going to be?
JT: I hope it's endless, because I can tell you right now, we're 10 years into PlayStation 1, and we feel like we've kind of absorbed the PlayStation 1 and the PlayStation 2, so it lives on. I don't think there's any reason for a platform to pass away unless the consumer fails to have interest in it, and I think it's not a leap of the imagination to say this will still be compelling in 10 years. I think it will continue to evolve, and we can sell it as long as we can profitably build it.
That sounds good! About damn time they start keeping systems around for 10 or so years instead of coming out with new ones every 3 to 5 years.
